Wyebot focuses on closing the “visibility gap” between infrastructure-reported data and the actual end-user experience by utilizing sensors that collect RF, interference, and application data. Their philosophy centers on simplicity–aiming for a “plug, play, show, done” experience–while maintaining vendor neutrality. Key updates to their sensor platform include the “keep Ethernet interface up” feature to prevent unnecessary SNMP traps during testing, and enhanced support for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to switch seamlessly between customer accounts. The platform also expands its diagnostic capabilities with automated iPerf server switching, customizable port numbers, and the “Link Doctor” for onboarding verification, which now includes support for IPv6 and internal resource testing.
The presentation highlights significant advancements in security and connectivity testing, particularly regarding OpenRoaming and WPA3. Wyebot’s sensors can now test OpenRoaming networks by downloading credentials from the WBA, allowing for the verification of both inner and outer identities. To address evolving security standards, the platform supports the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) to automate certificate management as validity periods shorten. Furthermore, their WPA3 testing is described as the most advanced available, allowing administrators to simulate nearly any combination of AKM suites, ciphers, and Protected Management Frames (PMF) to ensure client compatibility across multi-vendor environments.
In response to enterprise feedback, Wyebot is rolling out a revamped UI that boasts six-times-faster page loads, a highly requested dark mode, and comprehensive audit logs for tracking administrative changes. The roadmap includes the integration of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and the development of next-generation WiFi 7 sensors. Additionally, Wyebot is embracing “Agentic AI” through Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support. This approach allows enterprises to use their own AI assistants–such as Claude, Gemini, or Amazon Q–to interact with Wyebot data using their own API keys, ensuring that sensitive network information is not used to train public LLM models while still providing intelligent, automated troubleshooting.

Wyebot’s presentation at Mobility Field Day 14, delivered by CTO Anil Gupta, introduces the DEX (Digital Experience) Agent, a software-based solution designed to provide real-time telemetry from end-user devices. This product complements Wyebot’s existing hardware sensors, addressing the needs of a post-COVID hybrid workforce by monitoring connectivity both in the enterprise office and at home. The core of the DEX Agent is its Health Score, a composite metric designed to provide IT administrators with a single, glanceable indicator of device health. To ensure transparency for technical users, Gupta details the score’s internal logic, which is divided into four primary weighted categories: connectivity (25%), connection stability (40%), network tests (20%), and device performance (15%).
The summary continues by breaking down these categories, noting that connectivity covers initial establishment phases like DHCP and authentication, while stability monitors ongoing metrics such as signal strength and data rates. A key differentiator for Wyebot is its partnership with Intel Connectivity Analytics (ICA), which provides deep driver-level insights–such as missed beacons–that are typically inaccessible to standard operating systems. The agent also runs active network tests, including a native Microsoft Teams test that monitors audio, video, and screen-sharing streams to diagnose whether meeting issues stem from the network or application routing. Device performance monitoring adds context by tracking CPU and memory utilization, helping administrators identify if hardware thermal throttling or resource exhaustion is mimicking a poor Wi-Fi experience.
Looking toward future developments, Wyebot is expanding the DEX Agent to macOS and exploring mobile platforms like Android for warehouse use cases. The roadmap includes automated location detection, which uses AP BSSIDs to automatically categorize devices into specific offices without manual mapping. Gupta also emphasizes the platform’s commitment to simplicity and security through Agentic AI, utilizing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows enterprises to use their preferred LLMs without exposing sensitive data to public models. The presentation concludes by highlighting the flexibility of the system, which supports customizable application tests and continuous packet capture on sensor hardware, ensuring that both synthetic and real-user data are available for deep-dive troubleshooting.
